Many thanks for your input. I have got a bit further, but I'm getting in
way too deep for my knowledge. I still cannot get any reply from the
sourceforge people so I hope you can help me some more.

I have blundered my way around, realised that I needed to install both
Make and gcc. I've used Konsole to get into the correct folder, sorry
directory. (I didn't realise that Linux and DOS were so similar, CD
command for example. That was a bit of a guess on my part.)

Any way following the instruction which came with the sourceforge
driver, there are two ways and as the first way wasn't working I tried
the second. This way is to type make config. This worked, so I tried the
second part which was make driver.

This is what I got. Sorry its so long, but can you help me.
